And who, among the many self-professed “born again Christians” here, can give us a unified and explicit explanation of what that means? What is the purpose of being “born again”? I believe we need a clear understanding of what it means to be “Jewish” in God’s definition. In Jesus’ day, the...

That is an interesting analogy….. :nnna Don’t we first have to ask why does “evil” exist as an opposite of “good”…….and why was God trying to protect us from the knowledge of it? What do you think? Death could only come with this knowledge….

I am a Christian who believes what Christ taught and what he promoted as scriptural truth…. ”Theology“ is not a study of the Bible…..it is a study of what the church teaches about the Bible…two entirely different things. Like the difference between Scripture and the Talmud….or Christianity and...

Did I say that? Or did I say that I have no unanswered questions? What that says about me is that I bothered to find out the answers for myself through very deep Bible study. Anyone can do this if they put in the effort. There are endless resources available….so no excuses for not doing your...

Sadly, it appears more and more that many “Christians” in the modern era, dismiss the Old Testament largely because of the terminology….something “OLD” must be outdated…..like the “old covenant”…..but Jesus taught from the Hebrew Scriptures about himself and his mission, referencing the prophets...

He gave his name to his people…it’s in the Bible. “Yahweh/Jehovah” is the only name that God gave to himself. You are correct…..these are not “names” but titles, and they do not reflect the meaning of his name at all. In Hebrew the name “Yahweh” (Jehovah in English) means “I Will Be What I Will...

If you say so QT….you obviously have unanswered questions….that is not my problem. Bold arrogance in my case is simply confidence after a long history of Bible study where I got to answer all those questions through my own research.…the ones other people find frustrating because their doctrines...

Challenge accepted, but it will have to wait till tomorrow…I am out of time right now….. I apologize for the failures you mentioned, you are not the only poster I reply to….and sometimes I get on a tangent and am taken away from other threads. I assure you it wasn’t intentional. I have been on...

I wanted to address this separately because God has always had his “people”, chosen to represent him in a world ruled by the devil. (1 John 5:19; Luke 4:5-7) In pre-Israelite times it was the Patriarchs who guided their families in the way of truth and in the worship of the only true...

Can I at least ask you what “election” is for, and who are the ones who are described in Rev 20:6 as reigning with Christ and being priests under his headship as High Priest? Do all Christians have the “heavenly calling”? (Heb 3:1)……and in Rev 14:1-4 where there are 144,00 who are “bought from...

The question of how God gets his first purpose for material creation back on track after a serious derailment? But first we have to know what his first purpose was….and why a derailment was even possible in God’s perfect creation. He is the solution….not really the answer. I have no unanswered...

If it is a true Bible teaching, it would be clearly stated and supported….but it isn’t. Every Scripture used to prove it has been twisted to fit the doctrine, not the other way around. Their proof statements are always ambiguous and contradicted by other Scripture. Truth does not contradict...

The condition of the dead and the resurrection are key doctrinal beliefs that have not transfrerred over from the original Jewish faith to Christendom’s beliefs, on those points. They have adopted pagan Greek philosophical beliefs instead of the clear teachings about what happens when we die...

Apparently any topic is an excuse for an anti-JW rant….what a shame that none of what this deluded person (PS95) says is true….twisted half truths with a liberal splash of emotional appeal…..good grief! Do they ever stop? hmmx1: The trinity is a game changer if one wants to identify as a...

As one “sent” by his God and Father, Jesus is the appointed savior who gave his life as a ransom for all….acknowledging that, is putting oneself on the road to salvation. But the name Jesus came to reveal to his disciples was not his own. God’s name was what his people took into battle, as...

You’ve come to the right place….lots to ‘blab’ about apparently.. Welcome.

God’s Name….an important but overlooked topic…. How many people pray the Lord’s Prayer and say the words “hallowed be thy name” without a single thought as to what Jesus was saying? What does “hallowed” mean? It means to treat God’s name with respect and reverence, as the Bible writers did...

I do not know how they possibly can be…..these are two entirely different concepts of supposedly the same deity, accepted in two completely different biblical eras, but who do not resemble one another at all. And yet we have Biblical confirmation that “God does not change”. Read in Hebrew at...

That is correct…there is only “one God” (Deut 6:4)…the same God whom Jesus himself worshipped, as you were sown from the Catholic Bible. Address the points in the post….refute them…..or is it an inconvenient truth? The Scriptures prove you wrong….but you cannot admit it.

I have yet to see you defend a single belief with any real understanding about what you are reading… To get all bent out of shape over a lower case “s” when you should have known that Koine Greek had no upper or lower cases or punctuation…….if you were a true Bible student you would know these...
